"You continue to demonstrate incomprehension by attacking a straw man"

You don't say how? Nowhere in this post do I attack a "straw man". It appears you have exhausted rational argument.

"No one is preaching hatred against homosexuals, or counseling that they should be discriminated against broadly"

It seems, however, that you are being a rhetorician again, and creating a straw man with your implication. Here is my post. Your insinuation that I was accusing you of preaching hatred against homosexuals is patently false and something of which you ought to be ashamed. You owe an apology and more.

Message 19189471

"There is one issue, which is whether they should be married."

Which is what I said:

"The issue here is not whether or not marriage CAN be regulated, but as to whether or not gays should be discriminated against in marriage laws"

"None of your objections to my central arguments are cogent"

If that is the extent of you "come-back" then I consider ALL my points made:

"For the rest of it, there is little point in going point by point, as you have already constructed an argument that is no my own to contend with............"

People may judge for themselves. I answered you point by point over several posts because I had facts to present and corrections to make to your remarks. You have finally responded with vague and unresponsive verbiage. You may stand or run as you choose. But you cannot sell the cow and keep the milk.
